Directions

In a bowl, mix water and At Home Mild Chicken Tenders Seasoned Coating Mix until crumbly. In another bowl, beat 1 egg. Fill a skillet halfway with oil and heat over medium-high until it reaches 350°F (the oil is ready when a pinch of breading sizzles without burning).
Pat chicken tenderloins dry. Moisten chicken thoroughly in the egg wash, then press into the Seasoned Coating Mix until fully coated.
Fry at 350°F for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown, the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and juices run clear.

Serve with a side of Remoulade Sauce or Cajun Dipping Sauce and enjoy!
